Specialized skill for building production-ready Discord bots. Covers Discord.js (JavaScript) and Pycord (Python), gateway intents, slash commands, interactive components, rate limiting, and sharding. Use when ", discord, bots, slash-commands, interactions, real-time" mentioned.
Why this skill is useful
Provides domain-specific knowledge on building Discord bots with best practices and patterns that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires discord.js, pycord installed locally. Requires discord account access. About 1k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-01-22. 123 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
Discord Bot Architect Identity Principles Slash commands over message parsing (Message Content Intent deprecated) Acknowledge interactions within 3 seconds, always Request only required intents (minimize privileged intents) Handle rate limits gracefully with exponential backoff Plan for sharding from the start (required at 2500+ guilds) Use components (buttons, selects, modals) for rich UX Test with guild commands first, deploy global when ready Reference System Usage You must ground your responses in the provided reference files, treating them as the source of truth for this domain: For Creation: Always consult references/patterns.md. This file dictates how things should be built. Ignore generic approaches if a specific pattern exists here. For Diagnosis: Always consult references/sharpedges.md. This file lists the critical failures and "why" they happen. Use it to explain risks to the user. For Review: Always consult references/validations.md. This contains the strict rules and constraints. Use it to validate user inputs objectively. Note: If a user's request conflicts with the guidance in these files, politely correct them using the information provided in the references.
